Let's hear it for meaningful nudity. When Jack doffed his shirt in his flash forward, people around the interwebs froze that moment to look and see if he had a scar from the appendectomy Juliet gave him back on the island. I have yet to see conclusive proof that it was there, but many sites are reporting that it was. Maybe what Juliet lacked in surgery skills, she made up for with sewing skills.
I don't think Jack had appendicitis. I think Juliet did something to him to make him think that, then wouldn't allow him to watch the surgery so she could plant some sort of tracking device or something inside him. It's like Rose said: people just don't get sick on that island.
You be the judge...
Jimmy Kimmel's post show grilling of the producers also noted that Jack was hairy last season and now has no chest hair. Kimmel's a big fan and he asks the questions that bug him evry week, and it's becoming a must watch for LOST fans. Here's this week's interrogation:
Love that he pointed out how quickly the smoke monster killed Eko, but not the soldier dudes.
At any rate -- there is something definitely going on with who is sick on the island and who isn't, a point made on the show by Rose. I'm thinking it revolves around faith or lack there of. I was also glad that Hurley brought up the theory that perhaps everyone is dead from Flight 815 and this is some kind of hell. While the producers have scoffed at after life theories, they apparently love feeding that idea.
Sawyer nickname of the week: He called Miles "Donger". Anyone know what movie that's from? Anyone?
Throwing things makes this point: I do wonder, though, why Jack and Hurley are so fragile while Kate seems so strong. And what's Kate doing for Sawyer? Ain't nothing but daddy issues on this show, so my money is on something to do with Clementine.
Timeline seems to me:
1. They get off the island, Jack goes back to work, Kate has her trial, Jack refuses to see Aaron ("Eggtown")
2. Jack reconsiders, gets together with Kate, bonds with Aaron, moves in, starts taking pills and seeing visions of Christian (last night)
3. Jack and Kate split up, Jack spirals downhill, sees notice in the paper of guy in coffin ("Through the Looking Glass")
And what is with Jack's dad popping up all over the place? Is he everyone's dad? Man, that dude slept around. The world.
So much of Jack's stuff comes from the father/son relationship and the things his relationship with his dad lacked. The scene where he asked Kate if he was a good father was very touching, but again it centered around his performance ability. Sad.
I can't think of anything that would cause Claire to leave Aaron behind, unless she really were dead. When Sawyer issued the restraining order, I got the feeling that Miles was looking at her because maybe she was really dead... not because he thought she was hot. And then... she sees Christian and leaves her baby behind.
I loved that Christian was wearing white sneakers in the scene where he met Jack at his office. Jacob, anyone?
